EdReach+Network

Page Created by Michelle Clark

The EdReach Network is a site with information pertaining 100% to education built purely by educators. It is all about giving education a bigger voice, to be heard in the world. It helps with communication within education, taking education as far as what it can go in the present day, and making it to where people can find more information concerning education. On the EdReach site it gives an example of looking for the education information column in the newspaper and how you would continue to look because it would not be found in there. Which is where this site comes in play. It is not only a way to learn more about what is going on in education, but it is also a way for people to learn from the different shows, podcasts and more that it offers.
